Ever since we heard about Generations Blurr and Perceptor I can't help but think that Blurr's guns are intended for Perceptor.

In IDW's comics Perceptor went from being a scientist to sniper-rifle armed Wrecker. Leading Tracks to think he's scary.

Blurr's speed is his weapon. IDW Perceptor has a sniper rifle and two pistols. Does the math make sense to anyone else?

I got Blurr on Thursday and immediatley stripped him of his weaponry. Combined all three guns and gave it to classics Cliffjumper so he can have Megatron "dead set in his viewfinder". Looks better than the FP upgrade that I have. That gun is more like a bazooka.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Perceptor as a sniper as portrayed in the IDW books? I'm not saying that I don't think Perceptor shouldn't/can't use a firearm (in fact, I think he'd pretty pretty skilled, which does give the IDW portrayal some legitimacy). I just prefer Perceptor not using a gun too often nor having a "sniper-type" persona.

since its the Drift mold you had to have three weapons 2 small and 1 large, So going to guns is obvious first choice. Maybe the next repaint(Deadlock) will have big gun on back and two knives at his hips or some combination. It was just added as a gimmick rather than a homage.

all that said though when I get my Gen Perceptor he just might beat up Blurr and take his weapons.

I'll be honest, Perceptor in a different universe than standard G1, I can see him as a hardcore sniper. That shoulder scope is perfect for that. But in standard G1? I see him more as a scientist who got caught up in a war, but doesn't use guns. He's more of the MacGyver of Cybertron.

Now as for Blurr, yes, his gun was an electro-laser for G1, and the current Universe gun/s kind of homage that, but the bio is totally different, so I'm willing to accept that a super fast messenger can also be a silent but deadly sniper.

I did take a photo, because I was checking to see if Gen. Blurr's weapons fit to G1 Blurr and vice versa. Unfortunately, they don't. G1 Blurr's do fit to Animated Blurr, which was a complete win for the Animated line.
BTW, see what I did there Orio?

I dunno, but if I manage to get both someday (... if Generations appear in my country...) I'll do that, I love Perceptor as sniper, and I still think we need a SniPerceptor in Generations (maybe a new mold with tank-like vehicle mode to reflect the change... it's nice to dream) but giving Perceptor the Blurr's guns will left a weaponless Blurr :/

I'm only planning to pass the large rifle to Perceptor. Besides that I really like the sniper idea, a rifle that damn huge would impact Blurr's mobility. The little Armada-derived pistols are a better fit and I'm gonna guess a lot easier to do badass poses with.

I personally like the sniper role because it just kinda fits. It's a method of combat that's not officially shared by many, and when a character is known for high-power optics and is named "Perceptor", it all kind of comes together with a knack for marksmanship. Plus snipers aren't an every-operation unit, so Perceptor will still have plenty of time to be a scientist. It's a good balance.
